    I (25 y.o.) have been very close with this girl (22 y.o.) for about a year, although oficially in relationship we have been since May. I was suprised to see how open she became, taking into account that at the beginning she was very reluctant to be in relationship – she kept on telling me that she was not ready and that she still haven’t figured herself out. But somehow everything was perfect. No words to describe. We live in different cities but not so far away from each other so we were seeing each other every two weeks or so. We were both had over heels in love. She was literally showering me with attention and compliments. She gave me physical and emotional intimacy I’ve never experienced before and quickly became my whole world.

    What is more, thanks to her, my long period of depression with suicidal thoughts came to the end. I was alive like NEVER before

    Then one day I came to visit her and noticed that she was distant. She was not so eager to cuddle and kiss, we didn’t have sex and when I asked her what was wrong, she told me that she “lost a habit of being so close to me”.
    It was about one week ago. Since that time I was trying to call her, but she didn’t pick up the phone and called me back only once. Our communication via Whatsapp was reduced to one or two short messages per day… and when I tried to ask her again about change in her attitude, she just repeated that she “lost a habit of being so close to me” and she feels sad becouse of it. I have no idea what is going on ๐Ÿ™

    Her behavior changed literally overnight. One week she was hot, passionate, communicating with me a lot, saying how much she misses me, showering me with attention and next week she became cold as an ice. What is more, I’m 99% sure there was no other guy involved ๐Ÿ™
    I’m losing hope that there is anything that can be done to prevent breakup. How can anyone change like this in such a short time? We didn’t have a single fight! For all that time it was like in fairy tale and she gave it up like this so easily and suddenly:(

    Dangerous depressive thoughts are settling in again. I feel highly insecure and anxious about this situation and about my future. At night I feel such hopelessness that it suffocates me. I have noone to talk to. I don’t trust any of my friends or relatives enough to be totally honest about that overwhelming sadness and despair, I experience right now.

    I felt this way for about 6 months before I met her. I’m scared of going through this again. I just… don’t know what to do ๐Ÿ™

    Dear David:

    What you shared here is that before this relationship she was “very reluctant to be in relationship โ€“ she kept on telling me that she was not ready and that she still havenโ€™t figured herself out” and you had “long period of depression with suicidal thoughts.”

    Then the relationship happened and all was “perfect.” The two of you took a BREAK from your miseries and made something PERFECT. Only it wasn’t perfect. It would have been closer to perfect if the two of you talked- during your relationship- about your individual problems and helped each other with those. You ignored them and enjoyed the break/ vacation away from the problems.

    And now they are back: her reluctance and your depression. Back to the beginning.

    If you agree with my analysis here, you can- if you are able and willing- to try again with her but this time offer that the two of you communicate while in the relationship and help each other, help each other deal with the reluctance and depression and the causes for her reluctance and your depression. This time make it real, not “perfect.”

    Another thing I’d add is that you should never make her so important in your life that she’ll be the difference between life and death for you. That’s a really dangerous line to walk and putting too much pressure on her to make you happy. You need to sort out your own depression first.

    Hey,

    I totally agree with Perry and Anita. And would like to also add, that finding solution in a relationship is very dangerous and from the beginning it is not the best way to start a relationship by having in mind that someone will fix your problems for you.

    My experience was similar, I was in relationship which started and I had some problems, thinking that with relationship my problems will go away, but that same problem I had was also one of the causes for ending the relationship. I know now, that going in a relationship before I fix all my problems is not a option for me. I do not want to burden someone else with my problems, since I am also a big burden for myself, so til then I know relationship is not something for me.

    So the main point here is and i believe this is true, that before anybody starts a relationship they should fell good about themselves and then start something, otherwise that relationship will not work, even if in the beginning everything looks great.

    Good luck

    The previous posters were spot on. You didn’t deal with the issues you had before the relationship, you just stopped focusing on them and took a break for awhile and now they are back. Deal with the root causes and you may be able to get things back on track. But regardless of whether you continue this relationship or not if you don’t deal with the depression and suicidal thoughts, they will come back in your next relationship.

    Best of luck!
